AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MILWAUKEE/SULLIVAN WI
329 AM CST SAT NOV 26 2011

TODAY AND TONIGHT...FORECAST CONFIDENCE...HIGH

LOW PRESSURE OVER SRN MN WILL TRACK NEWD TO ERN UPPER MI WITH THE
COLD FRONT TRAILING SWWD TO NEAR KMSN AT 00Z SUN. THE LONGWAVE UPPER
TROUGH OVER THE PLAINS WILL SLOWLY APPROACH WI WITH VORTICITY
MAXIMUMS TO STREAM NWD THROUGH THE REGION. WARM AND MOIST ADVECTION
WILL ALSO CONTINUE NWD WITH PWS REACHING AN INCH TODAY. LOW TO MID
LEVEL FRONTOGENESIS WILL BECOME MORE ORGANIZED AS THE FRONT
APPROACHES TODAY. THE RAIN OVER IA AND MN WILL SPREAD EWD THIS
MORNING REACHING LAKE MI BY AT LEAST NOON. A DRY SLOT AND OVERALL
WEAKENING OF LIFT WILL OCCUR TNT ESPECIALLY IN THE WRN CWA IN THE
EVENING...THUS CHANCE POPS THERE VERSUS RAIN LIKELY IN THE ERN CWA.
BY THE TIME TEMPS COOL ENOUGH FOR SNOW THE PCPN WILL LIKELY BE OVER
WITH SOUNDINGS SHOWING DRYING AND SUBSIDENCE. DID MENTION A
RAIN/SNOW MIX AFTER MIDNIGHT BUT VERY LGT AND NO ACCUMULATION
EXPECTED.

.SUNDAY...FORECAST CONFIDENCE...MEDIUM

KEPT SOME LOW POPS DURING THE SUNDAY MORNING HOURS...PER SLOWER
POSSIBLE EXIT OF LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM AS ADVERTISED BY THE ECMWF. DID
MENTION SNOW SHOWERS POSSIBLE...THOUGH NOT THAT CONFIDENT IN THIS.
THINK THAT THE BULK OF MOISTURE WILL BE OFF TO THE EAST BY THE TIME
THINGS GET COLD ENOUGH FOR SNOW. PREVIOUSLY...MAIN CHANCE FOR SNOW
WAS TIED TO UPPER TROUGH MOVING OVERHEAD DURING THE MORNING. LATEST
TRENDS HAVE PUSHED MOST OF THE DEEPER MOISTURE WITH THIS FEATURE OFF
TO THE NORTHEAST. SOUNDINGS INDICATE PRETTY SHALLOW SATURATION
DURING THE MORNING...NOT EVEN DEEP ENOUGH FOR ICE CRYSTALS. MAY JUST
END UP WITH STRATUS.

A REALITY CHECK EXPECTED FOR HIGH TEMPS...WITH A COLDER AIRMASS
BEHIND THE DEPARTING LOW KEEPING HIGHS GENERALLY IN THE UPPER
30S...NEAR NORMAL FOR LATE NOVEMBER. MOSTLY CLOUDY SKIES AND BREEZY
NORTHWEST WINDS WILL ALSO HELP IT FEEL MORE LIKE DECEMBER IS RIGHT
AROUND THE CORNER.

SKIES EXPECTED TO TURN MOSTLY CLEAR AWAY FROM THE LAKE SUNDAY
EVENING...WITH THE NAM AND GFS KEEPING CLOUDS NEAR THE LAKE UNDER
NORTHEAST 1000-850MB FLOW. OPTED TO INCREASE CLOUD COVER NEAR THE
LAKE PER THESE MODELS...THOUGH IT SHOULD BE NOTED THAT ECMWF AND
CANADIAN DO NOT HAVE THIS LAKE EFFECT CLOUD POTENTIAL.

.MONDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY...FORECAST CONFIDENCE...MEDIUM

WEAK HIGH PRESSURE MONDAY TO BE FOLLOWED BY A COLD FRONT MONDAY
NIGHT...THEN STRONGER HIGH PRESSURE BUILDING INTO THE AREA TUESDAY
AND WEDNESDAY. LOOKS DRY THOUGH THIS PERIOD. KEPT SOME LAKE CLOUDS
IN THE EAST MONDAY...AND SOME CLOUDS EXPECTED WITH TROUGH/FRONT
PASSAGE MONDAY NIGHT...BUT OTHERWISE SHOULD BE FREE OF THAT MANY
CLOUDS FOR THE FIRST HALF OF THE WEEK. SOME DIFFERENCES AMONG
MODELS...BUT OVERALL LOOKS LIKE NEAR NORMAL TEMPS THROUGH
WEDNESDAY.

.THURSDAY AND FRIDAY...FORECAST CONFIDENCE...MEDIUM

MODELS STILL SUGGESTING A WEAK WAVE MAY BRING A BIT OF LIGHT SNOW
THURSDAY INTO THURSDAY NIGHT. WAVE NOT THAT IMPRESSIVE AND MODELS
DIFFER A BIT WITH TIMING/PLACEMENT...SO KEPT POPS ON THE LOW END.
HIGH PRESSURE THEN PROGGED TO SLIDE BACK INTO THE AREA FOR
FRIDAY...BRINGING A SHOT OF EVEN COLDER AIR TO THE FORECAST AREA.

&&

.AVIATION/12Z TAFS/...TO BE ADDED SHORTLY.

&&

.MARINE...SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY IN EFFECT FROM 4 AM SUNDAY THROUGH 6
PM SUNDAY. SOUTH WINDS AND WAVES WILL REMAIN BELOW SMALL CRAFT
ADVISORY THRESHOLDS TODAY AND MUCH OF TNT. A STRONG COLD FRONT WILL
THEN REACH LAKE MI EARLY SUNDAY MORNING AND BRISK NLY WINDS WILL
DEVELOP AND LAST INTO EARLY SUNDAY AFTERNOON. 2 TO 5 FOOT WAVES WILL
PREVAIL OVER THE NEARSHORE WATERS BUT HIGHER TOWARD OPEN WATER. THE
HIGH WAVES WILL LAST THROUGH MUCH OF SUNDAY.
